Prep time: 15 mins
Cooking time: 45 mins
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 500g Mango
- 200g Butter (Room Temperature)
- 4 Eggs (Room Temperature)
- 200g Self Raising Flour
- 150g Vanilla Yoghurt
- 125g Raspberries
- 200g Caster Sugar
- 100g Desiccated Coconut
- Icing Sugar
METHOD
-
Preheat the oven to 160°C.
Peel the mango and reserve one cheek for garnishing. Weigh out 500gm of peeled mango and cut into 2-3cm pieces, then set aside.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, combining well between each egg.
In the same mixer bowl, add the flour, desiccated coconut and yoghurt. Fold in using a rubber spatula until well combined.
Then add the 500g of diced mango and half of the raspberries and fold through once more.
-
Oil and line the bottom of a 22cm cake tin and then thoroughly oil the sides. Add the mixture to the tin, smooth gently and place into the oven for 45-55 mins or until cooked through and a toothpick comes out dry.
Meanwhile, place some extra coconut onto a baking tray and toast in the oven for around 10 minutes or until golden.
Remove cake from the oven and set to cool in the tin for at least 1 hour, before taking it out of tin.
- Serve mango-raspberry sponge cake at room temperature. Dust with icing sugar, sprinkled with toasted coconut. Garnish with fresh raspberries and slices of mango.
Chef’s Note:
When adding the eggs to the sugar butter mix, be careful not to overmix or you risk splitting the batter.
